I’ve said this time and time again about Zach Duke…but Ross Ohlendorf has to be one pretty frustrated dude. He pitched a whale of a game today–his last start of a great year due to an innings limit–and has nothing to show for it thanks to your Pittsburgh offense.

The Boss was stellar this afternoon: 7 innings, 5 hits, 1 walk, and 5 K’s. He pushed his ERA down to 3.92 and will finish the year 11-10. Thanks to injuries to Xavier Nady and Damaso Marte, Ohlendorf has given the Bucs a “win” in that trade, with whatever Tabata, McCutchen, and Karstens can do as a bonus.

Unfortunately, the lumber company was nonexistent after a first-inning run, and the fearless combo of Phil Dumatrait and Denny Bautista surrendered a run to snap a 1-1 tie in the 9th.
